Someone needs to be shot in the legs for this.

I mean, what the fuck?
Fun Club?
Fucking Fun Club?
Opening up for Mission of Burma?
WHAT?!

This used to be a great city with people who really loved music putting these things together.

It still is, just that some douchewads don't know how to book a good show. This is the Abbey Pub we're talking about. Can't say they've made many good decisions in the past.

Mission of Burma... will they ever come back to Chicago after this? It's a complete embarrassment.

This literally makes me want to throw up.

They gotta be boinking someone in charge of booking at the Abbey, regardless of sex.

Looks like I'll be missing Burma once again...sigh...

I live right down the street from the Abbey. I am going over there in person right now and finding out who is responsible for this and I'm gonna tell him exactally what I think of them.


Oh man, I just had this fucked up image in my head of someone in Burma saying from the stage 'Thanks to Fun Club for palying, they were great wern't they? Give it up for Fun Club'

What if Peter Prescott got up from behind the kit to say that?

A picture straight off their myspace and one they put up voluntarily. THIS BAND is opening up for Mission of Burma in Chicago?!?!?!?


WTF!?!

Man, the last time Burma played in Chicago was with Pinebender opening. That was great. Now this? What the crap.

You know, this idea of making fun of "boy bands" wouldn't have been funny 8 years ago when they were actually around.

This is just stupid.

Just sad, really
Any excitment I would have had about the show is just gone, I am just bummed about the whole thing and that sucks.
I am embarassed to be from Chicago right now

The funny part is, I hardly doubt any of those bands even care who MoB is.

yeah I'm sure it would have been real hard to find a couple bands in Chicago who would actualy be honored to play with them or even who's music fits well with theirs....
This makes no fucking sense and makes me fucking ill
